Central Airway

Background Tracheal glomus tumors are rare mesenchymal neoplasms that have the potential to cause malignant, central airway obstruction. They require a thoughtful approach to safely secure the airway and definitively resect the tumor. Case Description We report the clinical course of a 25-year-old man in severe respiratory distress secondary to tracheal glomus tumor and the subsequent surgical management. Conclusion Due to their hypervascular nature, greater familiarity with tracheal glomus tumors is needed to ensure appropriate preoperative planning and intervention.

Central Airway

Vascular central airway obstruction (CAO) is a rare cause of upper airway obstruction in adults. CAO occurs below the level where it is invisible in a laryngoscope. Doctors therefore should pay attention to the possibilities of vascular CAO when attempting to prevent and resolve catastrophic complications from upper airway obstruction such as cardiorespiratory collapse and hemoptysis, which requires a thoughtful preoperative planning of airway management before starting a surgical reconstruction.

Central Airway

To the Editor.— The controversy over which method provides the best relief of central airway obstruction has been marked by the publishing of a myriad of "Special Comments," editorials, and statements, and a dearth of scientific studies. The interesting study by Day and co-workers1 brings a new point of view to this problem by looking at ballistic forces. The question remains as to whether the model of a ball rolling free in a rigid tube is a valid model for soft food lodged in a distensible airway.
